TOPIC: C-70 Brake Dust

Thanks for info ... I was wondering if there was something specific "by design" which would result in the rear dust accumulation and I think you may have answered that question. Sounds like you have quite the Volvo stable of vehicles. Besides the C70, I only have a 90, 740 Turbo Wagon ... which like your XC70, always seems to have the black brake dust on the front wheels. Thanks again for the info.

Ditto John's experience. I have a 2010 XC70 and there is very little dust accumulation on any wheel. My 760 was constantly black with dust.

It would seem to me that if the back side of the wheel spokes were angled to force air into the brake, then dust would be blown to the underside of the car when moving. I haven't examined the XC's wheels to verify this though.

I want to die like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.
